Such as now topic: Woman's morning routine sets the tone for our day's success (Can be for Men too), enjoy :-)

In my opinion, the daily routine and small habits, especially those started in the morning, can truly change your day for the better, and of course, your life along with it. The most important aspect is consistency and finding the right habits that suit us and our bodies. I never aim to influence someone; I believe we should all learn to listen to our bodies and determine what personally makes us feel good. It's important to recognize that everyone is different, so the perfect morning routine varies from person to person.

All I wish is for you to learn how you can start afresh every morning because I believe it's a golden opportunity for women to seize the moment and make it truly count. Of course, we have to understand that in life, there are ups and downs, and even if you find your perfect routine, something might occasionally disrupt it. But the key is to maintain it and continue to be consistent. You can experiment with a few morning rituals suggested by me to discover what suits your lifestyle and schedule best. Take your time with each one, and be patient as you find your rhythm. Be gentle with yourself and adopt a sustainable morning routine for a more refreshing start to your day.

Even for those who prefer late nights, the early hours can be a chance to reflect, indulge in self-care, unleash creativity, or tackle tasks. Always remember that as well. Personally, I am a morning person, but I also love to work and reconnect in the evening and plan my schedule for the next day so I can go to sleep with a clear plan and mind.

I believe that a woman's morning routine sets the tone for our day's success. This article offers insights into healthy morning habits to help women craft mornings that align with your goals and preferences. And who knows? You might find these suggestions inspiring, and some of them might fit you well.

Ever wondered why healthy morning routines and habits are so crucial for women? Habits are essentially the repetitive behaviors and choices that shape our daily lives and personal growth. Developing healthy habits is key to our overall development, as they influence how we function day in and day out. Over time, these seemingly small actions accumulate, distinguishing exceptional women from the rest. Hence, cultivating the right habits begins with crafting nourishing morning routines.

Waking Up Early: Consider rising a bit earlier in the morning if your usual routine feels rushed and stressful. This extra time can afford you a leisurely start to your day. Use this opportunity to savor a cup of tea or coffee, have a satisfying breakfast, or enjoy a peaceful stroll before diving into your busy agenda. By giving yourself this breathing space, you'll increase the likelihood of starting your day on time and feeling prepared for whatever lies ahead.

Personally, I love to wake up early, usually around 6 in the morning. However, sometimes I wake up around 7, and on busier days, I might even wake up at 5:30 to prepare for the day. What's important for me is to wake up around the same time each day, with just an hour's difference. Otherwise, I might get a headache from being out of my schedule. So yes, even on weekends, I typically wake up around 7 am. But of course, that's just my experience and may vary for others. How about you? Do you prefer waking up earlier or later?

It's important to ensure that your body gets enough rest and to recognize how much rest your body needs.

Wash My Face and Brush My Teeth as first: I think washing my face with fresh water and using my favorite cleanser is really important to me. Usually, if I'm not in a rush, I apply a face mask or another deep hydration/nourishing skincare product, and then I brush my teeth. I also love to use gua-sha stone and massage my face at least for 2-3 minutes with it. I found out my these small routine thing can truly improve naturally shape of your face and also overall body health because the gua-sha helps a lot with the lymphatic system.

Find below a video with my easy to follow Gua Sha tutorial recorded in beautiful Hawaii.

During sleep, oral bacteria proliferate, often resulting in "morning breath" or a lingering unpleasant taste. Combat this by brushing your teeth first thing in the morning. This not only eliminates bacteria but also forms a protective barrier on your enamel, guarding against acids present in your breakfast. Also, having fresh breath right after waking up simply feels fresh and awakening, don't you think?

Hydrate Myself: No doubt, hydrating our bodies is among the most beneficial actions we can take. After a night's rest, dehydration is common, making it vital to rehydrate immediately upon waking as part of our morning routine. This simple practice can significantly boost your energy levels. Ensure you have something refreshing to drink as soon as you wake up.

Personally, I love to have apple cider vinegar diluted in a bit of warm water. Apple cider vinegar really helps with many things. They say drinking apple cider vinegar in the morning aids in weight loss and health and may help lower blood sugar levels. It's also said, and that's the main reason why I take it personally, that drinking a shot of apple cider vinegar provides your body with what it needs to make hormones and address any imbalances between estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.

Surprisingly, as much as I love morning coffee, I try to hold off for a little bit and start my day with a cup of green tea or moringa tea, as well as any other herbal tea that is personally suggested for my body. I have my own mixture. Also, drinking coffee can affect your mineral levels. Coffee has diuretic properties, which means it can increase urine production and potentially lead to the loss of certain minerals, such as calcium and magnesium. Additionally, caffeine in coffee can interfere with the absorption of minerals like iron. However, moderate coffee consumption is generally considered safe for most people and doesn’t typically cause significant deficiencies. That's one of the reasons why I try not to drink my coffee with a bowl of my oats and fruits and superfoods, but I wait at least 45 minutes after I finish eating it :-)

Oh, and yes, moringa is just wonderful. I talk a lot about moringa, and you can also read more about it in my "Beauty Inside Out" section, but I've attached some facts about moringa here to remember, as well as a video.

You can get selectively picked Gigerbeli Dried Moringa leaves here.

As I said, I also prefer a cup of coffee for a bit later. Usually, I use coconut milk or almond milk with a spoon of MCT oil, coconut oil, or ghee butter. Have you heard of the so-called "bulletproof coffee"? I've been drinking it for the past 2-3 years, with some breaks in between, and it suits me well.

Afterward, usually with my face mask still on, I try to relax and plan my schedule, checking the most important tasks of the day, and sometimes I even finish one. Because in the morning, I am most productive, and I can do most of the important tasks very well focused.

I also take supplements, but recently, I've been trying to limit it and experiment more with real food "superfoods". But probiotics, vitamin D, and some of the group vitamins B, I always take. Vitamin D has to be combined with some good quality fats, so usually, I even take a spoon of quality olive oil or coconut oil. Sometimes, I also supplement Omega 3 and Collagen. I love the collagen from my brand that I represent exclusively under Gingerbeli because it's with ZERO sweeteners and has a very natural taste. It comes from the Czech Republic, and I just really love it. In UAE, Dubai, I haven't found a collagen that either tastes good or is without any artificial sweeteners or has the right ingredients that my body needs. It took time for me to find this collagen, and now I truly appreciate it. A collagen drink to boost vitality and restore skin elasticity from within. The firming effect of collagen is multiplied by vitamin C and hyaluronic acid, which accelerates the skin's natural regeneration and helps hydrate it all day long. The fiber from chicory root will stimulate your digestion and help lower your cholesterol levels. This Collagen is designed to brighten the skin and restore its firmness.

As I mentioned, I also love MCT oil. Mostly, I mix it with coffee, and sometimes I even add it to my oats or yogurt. Why? What are the benefits?

Energy Boost: MCTs are rapidly absorbed and converted into energy, making them a popular choice for individuals following ketogenic or low-carb diets.
Weight Management: Some research suggests that MCT oil may support weight loss by increasing feelings of fullness, boosting metabolism, and promoting fat burning.
Cognitive Function: MCTs can cross the blood-brain barrier and provide an alternative energy source for the brain, potentially supporting cognitive function and mental clarity.
Gut Health: MCTs have antimicrobial properties that may help maintain a healthy gut microbiome and support digestive health.

Long story short, why do I use MCT oil personally?

I love to work out before I eat, and usually, I have to give my body at least some energy. The MCT oil, mixed with a small amount of yogurt or diluted in coffee or any other drink, gives me some healthy energy.

It aids in weight loss because it decreases appetite and may also help with belly fat.

It gives me more energy when I work out. It's also antifungal and helps to reduce migraines and headaches, which, as I said, I sometimes suffer from. It's good for my gut and also helps me to be more focused and have more energy. This is what I have noticed.

If I wake up a little hungry and I know I have to snack on something before I work out to avoid getting a headache and to keep my energy up, I snack on my Kenari nuts.

Kenari nuts are an amazing source of energy, and it's said they're one of the healthiest nuts you can find! I will talk more about Kenari nuts in the future, but for now, let me share some first facts.

Nuts, in general, are good to have first thing in the morning in case you are a bit hungry. They contain healthy vitamins and fats, as well as protein, and they do not spike your blood sugar level. For instance, I would never have a piece of chocolate in the morning because that would spike my blood sugar level like crazy. Personally, I also love to have some slices of apple or another fiber-rich fruit to ease my digestion. But again, it differs from day to day, and I've tried to learn how to listen to my body.

If I feel a little sick and I know my body needs some extra support, I go for vitamins like more vitamin C, zinc, or even cook fresh ginger and drink it. Sometimes (most of the time), I even have pieces of freshly cooked ginger because, of course, I am the GINGER-BELI girl! 😄

I think for now, there's been a lot of information from the start, and let me add more tips in the coming days and continuously. As I said, nothing ever happens overnight, and we have to start step by step. That's the same with my digital course #eatpraygrow and all I share with you. I prefer to share with you step by step on a continuous basis so you have time to develop these slowly and find your way.

That's the reason why I offer this course on a subscription basis because consistency is just so important. As I always say, consistency is what transforms ORDINARY to EXTRAORDINARY. I hope that reading #eatpraygrow step by step will get you to another level and improve your life significantly, one small step at a time.

So think about it, try to understand what you want to try from the above-mentioned things, or try to understand if it's something different you could try out. Connect and listen to your body.

And we will continue soon with more of the morning routine that may set the tone for your successful day. 😊
